There is nothing that war

It isn't at all clear what the
nations of Europe are striving
to achieve by war. They all
profess to be fighting on the
defensive. They all profess to
be fighting in tlie interst of

are very confusing. But whatever it is they are after, it
could be gained much better by
peaceable methods than by war.

headway and was burning in the

free all the slaves, compensating the owners at a rate of a

That would have cost the nation the tremendous sum of

what did the war cost?
As nearly as the direct cost
of war can be figured, it cost
the nation five billions of dollars.
The compensation plan would
have saved two billions.
But that is only the beginning
of the cost of the war. Pensions, growing out of the war,
